In the morning before going to my day-job I NEED a shower or else I know feel shaggy all day. But the days I work at home I usually go straight to work after getting up ( my mind is still fresh at 7.30 ) and then after about two or three hours ( or whenever I get stuck ) I hit the shower for some badly needed inspiration.

Funny how in the end we’re all instances of the same Human class :-)
